Michael Watson vs. James Toney in 1991 @ 160

[Erratic]

Who wins?

[Free Ike]

Michael Watson was one of my favorite fighters ever, but Mike Mccallum who fought on basically even terms with JT, although I don't think all three were at middle, toyed with Watson. Anyway, Mccallum and JT where on even terms in 36 rounds. Mccallum won every second of his fight with Watson and then stopped him. .He outclassed him. Toney is fairly labelled an inconsistent fighter at almost all his weights, but JT is a level above him in terms of class.
JT by UD.

Watson was a good fighter, but Toney was just on a higher level than him in every way. He would have broken Watson down, and stopped him.

To be fair to Watson he had been out injured for a year and was pretty green when he fought McCallum.

He had improved a lot by the time of the two Eubank fights.

Toney still beats him though.
